Former Newcastle United attacker confident they will win promotion.
Former Newcastle United attacker Peter Lovenkrands says he is confident the club can win promotion to the Premier League this season.
Lovenkrands starred for Newcastle last time they were in the Championship, playing a key role in Chris Hughton’s side winning automatic promotion.

With 25 games gone Newcastle are in second place, perhaps looking over their shoulders nervously after losing two of their last three league games.
Lovenkrands remains confident Newcastle will get the job done, responding to a fan on Twitter who asked about the chances of Rafa Benitez’s side.
Lovenkrands also said he would happily sit with the Newcastle fans in the away end sometime for a match, having been asked to do so by a supporter.
Among the other questions the former Danish international was asked, was who the best Newcastle teammate he played alongside was, and then the best striker.
Both were sold during Newcastle’s most recent Premier League stint, but their contribution while at the club was highly impressive, and it’s little wonder Lovenkrands has good memories of the duo.
